A few weeks ago, I went to Target to see what Easter decorations are for sale. I thought there would be a lot of options and I was right! I wish I could’ve bought more things, but I currently don’t have the storage for them right now.

In 2018, I wanted to write more posts on this blog about topics besides beauty hauls. So far, I’ve failed but I hope to change it by talking about my monthly favorites!

In future posts, want to talk about what I found out and fell in love with during the month. This includes movies, books, TV shows, and anything else I would like to share. I do not plan on writing about beauty and makeup products only, but this month I ended up talking them anyway. So, let’s get started!

Last year, after watching videos about what the Youtubers got for Christmas, I decided not to talk about the presents I received simply because I didn’t feel comfortable talking about what others bought me. Instead, I decided to talk about the presents I bought myself because they would eventually end up here on this blog in one way or another.

Even though it’s the middle of January, some of the Christmas presents I bought myself didn’t show up until last week. Since it took so long to receive the presents (and in the case of my new boots, pick them out) it took me longer than I would like to talk about my presents.

It’s that time of the year when there are parties to go to, which means there are Holiday dresses in the stores! I normally do not need to wear a nice dress for a party, but I still like to look at them and think about if I’d like to wear them or not and where I’d wear them at. Since I have so many dresses I like, I wanted to talk about the dresses trends I’ve found that I really like and why I like them so much.

After shopping at Target during Black Friday last week, I went to a nearby mall and did some shopping there. One of the stores I shopped at was Bath and Body Works.

I normally do not shop at Bath and Body Works, but I decided to see what was for sale. They had a buy three get three sale at that time, so I bought three shower gels and got three shower gels for free.

While after Halloween shopping, I stopped by the Dollar Spot at Target. The funny thing is, even though I was at Target to shop for Halloween things, I ended up buying more things from the Dollar Spot than I did in the Halloween section.

On November 1st, the day after Halloween, I went shopping to see what Halloween decorations and such was on sale. Although I found many cute decorations, I didn’t buy them because I didn’t have places to put them. Despite this, I bought three items to use next Halloween!

Last month, I went to Hallmark Keepsake Ornament Debut. When I went, I didn’t think I would get very many ornaments, but I ended up getting more than I anticipated. One ornament bought is one I mentioned I wanted to get in my Debut Event wish list post, but the rest are ones I never thought about or looked at until I was in the store.

Fall and winter are by far my favorite time of the year. It’s when Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years happen in three months, the weather cools off (Especially nice because it means Arizona’s desert heat is coming to an end), and my birthday is in November!

Last year, I had a family health emergency that distracted me from buying fall decor that I had my eye on or enjoying the season as much as I normally do. This year, I made the decision to purchase decor that I liked but never purchased. I was able to find and purchase most of the things I wanted to buy, plus a few other things that I found along the way.
